Is it possbile to remove repeated link for menu item News that comes on hover of main menu item. Because, the main menu item News ( in bold letter ) takes admin to same page as sub-menu item news does. In short- i want to have only two options as sub menus .. those are Add New News and Categories. Is this possbile ??

I found remove_submenu_page() does same thing. But your approach is what I'm going to adapt. I'm having number of such post types and calling remove_submenu_page() for each is not good. This solution clean and simple avoiding multiple func calls.
